Less Than Perfect

by Robert   Sep 27, 2006


Less than perfect
is something that i will forever be
that someone no one wants to see...

perfect body... perfect smile
perfect face... perfect sense of style-
will remain a dream,
or so that's how it seems...

craving perfection, while dying inside
revealing emotions that I've tried to hide
i can't take anymore, but at least I've tried
I'm starving, I'm dying...
perfection denied...

less than perfect-
my killer disease...
it's leaving me helpless,
walking on my knees...

perfect looks... perfect everything...
as if I'm a cover of a magazine-
it's all wishful thinking,
dreams in which I'm sinking

craving perfection, while dying inside...
slowly giving up...
...perfection denied

    Now THERE'S something I understand. Perfection. Ah, perfection. I hate it. It's easy to obsess about isn't it? Really easy. Physical perfection.. aiming towards it, but always seeing the one thing that keeps you from it. Yeah, I think I get what you're saying here.
